Zyayda
Zyayda (Arabic: زيايدة) is an Arabic-speaking tribe in Morocco, belonging to the Chaouia tribal confederacy.[1] According to French colonial-era orientalist Édouard Michaux-Bellaire, they are of Sanhaja origin.[2]
The Zyayda tribe has integrated Arab and Berber elements of various origins throughout its history and, between the late 19th and early 20th centuries, absorbed the Beni Oura tribe, a small tribe of Maghraoua Berber origin.[3][better source needed]
